The original price of a scarf was $16. During a store closing sale, a shopper saved $12 on the scarf. What percentage discount did she receive? Explain or show your reasoning.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The discount which she received is 25 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The original price of scarf = $ 16

The selling price of scarf = $ 12

Let The discount percentage = d %

So,

Discount percentage = [tex]\frac{\textrm market price-\textrm selling price}{\textrm market price}[/tex] × 100

or, d % = [tex]\frac{16-12}{16}[/tex] × 100

Or, d % = [tex]\frac{400}{16}[/tex]

∴ d = 25%

Hence The discount which she received is 25 %  Answer
